Griffiths Middle School

Both my son and daughter went to school at Griffiths. There is a tremendous amount of bullying. I strongly regret sending my kids to Griffiths.

A bit disappointed...my children came from lausd schools. I figured in Downey they'd get a great education. Little was I wrong. I can honestly say they are both bored and not being challenged, at their previous schools they had projects, book analysis, current events, research papers, presentations, and more. At GMS they get puzzle worksheets for math that are usually completed in class. When I brought it to the counselor's attention counselor said, they (teachers) have new standards to focus on, my response, the teacher should not stop and should not make it an excuse to stop teaching. At home we as parents have to give them work and enrich their learning because they are not getting it at their school. Plus too many movies and videos are being showed to students. Filters to their technology should also be enforced, funny how anything and everything can be accessed on the school computers, ie, YouTube.

I am a parent of a 7th grader and I am very satisfied with GMS. Looking forward for my little one to attend GMS as well.

I attended this school in 6th grade. I then left but I love the school the teachers the counsulers! Great help from there and before not quite remember if its before the CST they give this tutoring in the morning before school. Well I don't know if they still do that because well I don't got there anymore. Any way great school any one who goes there in the future they will remember their 6 7and 8 grade there!
